Cost Effective, Smart Sustainability
By focusing on sustainability, ATC remanufacturing processes deliver tangible results and stay ahead of the curve in creating high quality, lower cost reman parts.
Reduces Demand for Raw Materials
By extending the products’ lifecycles, remanufacturing processes salvage approximately 80% of the material in the core (by weight), which reduces the need for raw material extraction, processing and transportation.

Cuts Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Remanufacturing significantly decreases carbon emissions compared to manufacturing new components – producing remanufactured engines results in 73% to 87% fewer carbon dioxide emissions compared to manufacturing new engines.

Shrinks Energy Use
Remanufacturing consumes approximately 15% of the energy required for producing new products, leading to an annual savings of about 400 trillion BTUs in the U.S.—equivalent to 16 million barrels of crude oil or enough gasoline to operate 6 million cars for a year.

Decreases Industrial Waste
Remanufacturing helps prevent millions of tons of automotive parts from entering landfills, significantly reducing industrial waste.

Remanufacturing is a Critical Part of a Successful Global Circular Economy
A circular economy is focused on minimizing waste and maximizing resource utilization by keeping products, materials, and components in use for as long as possible. We put remanufacturing sustainability at the forefront of the process.
In the context of sustainability, remanufacturing plays a key role in the circle by restoring used products to reusable, like-new condition, which conserves resources, reduces carbon emissions, and promotes a low-waste industrial system worldwide.
This is when precision remanufacturing and sustainability work in tandem.
